sequences of the war. It is, however, only in the maintenance of our conquest that our security lies, and the means by which this is to be effected becomes therefore a consideration of the highest impOrtance. It would, indeed, appear, from the account which has been published, either that no doubt was enter tained of the future conduct of the Court of Ava, or that the army, satisfied with a fulfilment of the con ditions of the Treaty, which had been once violated, had abandoned the idea of obtaining any more full indemnity for exptnces incurred, or security for future fidelity ; for we find that no sooner had ,the Monarch submitted, when the army was within four days' march of his capital, than it hastened back to Rangoon, and the embarkation com menced: No mention is made 'in the official ac count of the force to be left, or the means td be taken, if any, to keep possession of the Maritime Provinces ceded by the Treaty. To render the result of the war of real and permanent benefit to us, military pos session of those Provinces ought to be retained, and a Naval force stationed on the coast ; for without these, we are satisfied, that an early violation of the Treaty will ensue. If that should be the case,' our situation will be worse than before the war, and we shall lament that we had not strengthened rather than extended our frontier. It is currently reported in the City, that it is the in tention of Ministers to grant permission for the im portation of Foreign Corn, and this measure is stated as the cause of the depreciation in the English funds. Such is the selfish perversity of human nature that we believe no plan has ever yet been proposed for the ultimate good of the public, without meeting opposi tion, always more stubborn in proportion to the benefit likely to result from its adoption. Every improvement in 'society must , necessarily trench upon old habits and interests, rousing the jealousy of those likely to be put out of their way by the change, but it ought not to .engender the petty hostility of these worthies who, in the fervour of their declamation, forget the maxim— All partial evil—universal good. We are no friends to innovation, unless it bear the stamp of public necessity, and promise general benefit, but we cannot join in the senseles hue and cry of every party who rails at the very mention of a proposed improve ment, as being fraught with dire calamity to the public, merely because it indirectly tends to affect the private interests or selfish views of that party. Nothing can be more ridiculous than the arguments put forth by these guardians of the public welfare, who never fail to mix up— A thread of candour in a web of wiles ; but the good sense of the Public generally, aided by the discernment of the Press, exposes the motives, and defeats the objects of these precious sticklers for " things as they are." The introduction of Gas Light into our streets was, according to the prophecy of some Alarmists, to blow up the metropolis and Macadamis ing the. streets was sure to overwhelm the to - wil with , dust and disiney, little inferior to the terrors of a whirlwind in the Deserts of Arabia. But, unfor tunately . for the prognostication of the children of light, the town has been illuminated in a splendid and beautiful style, without incurring the dangers of an earthquake; and, for the consolation of the children of darkness, there has been no other dust kicked up but that which blinded their eyes. The lovers of noise and fury are afraid that if the plan of Macadamisation becorries general in the streets, they will be deprived of all the stirring glory of their rattling thunder, and be doomed in future to lead " the noiseless tenor of their way" over roads which return no echo to the empty pomp of a splendid equipage. But . these fears must be drowned in the glass of the lounger, who will, no doubt, regret the absence of the vibration which kept his wine in a fever to the tune 'of " how he rattles along !" Not one of the rn in ' blessingi of Macadamisation to the public, is the ease ntdriving, and the great saving of wear and tear to the vehicles, as well as th e p reserva tion of horses f eet. But this last benefit to the horses, we are gravely told is not the fact. " Mr. LEIGH, a vete rinary surgeon of Bristol, in his evidence on the trial of a horse cause, gave it as his opinion, that Macadamised roads had rendered horses more un sound in their feet thaw they used to be." We pre sume that this Gentleman accommodates horses with shoes, and . as Macadamised roads are good frielid ° shoes, the ,borses are shyer in their visits to the farrier. Reall y,A cause it wou ld be worth while pay ing some men tor the t rue of their objections tO *lain points, merely to clench the tr uth . of the observation,. kn that is a secret worth wmg, if you could but come at it." W e wou l d readily pay for the wear and tear of Mr. LEIGH' S shoeS from B r i s tol (a pretty walk too), if he would. f avour us with the conclusive reason for his saying that smooth roads hurt horses' feet more than rough ones, over which horses stumble eve) , twenty yards they go. But he may be a rough rider, and there is much skill dis played by such jockeys. We think Mr. LEIGH'S p o . • *ipiti 'fp untenable as any of his old shoes, and no man . who has his eyes about him but must see that the Bristol Navigator has travelled on the wrong road for his information. Daily experience proves how much the smooth easy roads of Mr. MACADAM are working !heir way into public favour, and we trust soon into ltoneral public practice.

The Earl and Countess of Liverpool, who have been on an excursion through Wales, arrived at Chester on Thursday, and on the following afternoon passed through Macclesfield, on their way to London. Mr. Macready has taken his passage in the Canada, Captain Rodgers, which will sail on Friday for New York. He will be accompanied by his family. Miss Stephens took her benefit on Friday night, which terminated her engagement. The house was crowded in everypart with a most fashionable audience. A steam-vessel, to be called the Earl of Roden, will be launched from the yard of Messrs. Caleb and James Smith, Baffin-street, near the Queen's Dock, on Tuesday next. She is 400 tons burden, and will be propelled by engines of proportionate power. We understand she belongs to the St. George Steam- Packet Company, and is intended to ply between Liverpool and Dundalk. A gold crown piece of James IV. was found a few days since, on the grounds of the hospital founded by that Monarch at Perth.—Edinburgh Observer. We with peculiar pleasure announce the information received from-a gentleman just returned from Burn ley, that all the mills in that place have again com menced work, and nearly for full time. We sincerely hope this happy change will be permanent.— Wake field Journal. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE—(Tilis DAY.) James Baker, an errand boy, was charged by Mr. Moses Cashmore, merchant, of Bevis Marks, with having stolen much property. Mr. Cashmore stated, that the prisoner was his errand boy. He had repeatedly missed things from the house. At length he sus pected the prisoner, and yesterday evening he caused him to be appre hended, but, not wishing to send him to a prison until his guilt wee made manifest, be offered him a bed, on his assurance that he Would not attempt to escape. He said to the prisoner—" now if you attempt to escape, I shall consider it as a proof of your guilt." He gave notice to the night constable to be on the look out for any attempt of the kind. After midnight, notice was given that the prisoner had gone out. The officer and the prosecutor went to a street in the Commer cial-road ; while they were looking with a lantern for the number of the house they saw a door open, they ran to it and found the prisoner, whom they took into custody. They found upon him some spoons and a quantity of stolen property, which he acknowledged he was about to secrete or destroy ; he would then have returned to his master's. Mr. Cashmore lamented the necessity of prosecuting the pri soner. He was a nice boy, acute, and well informed, and had been twice pardoned, in the hope that he would reform. The Loin MAYOR remanded the prisoner, that the other pro perty missed might be sought after. GUILDHALL.—(Turs Day). EXTRAORDINARY CRARGX OF OBTAINING GOODS UNDER YA.LSI PRITINCRS.—A young man, named John Stevenson, connected with the legal profession, was brought before Mr. Alderman BROWN, charged with obtaining some stamped deeds under false pretences, from Mr. Montgomery, a law stationer, in Castle -street, Holborn. It appears that this young man was paying his addresses to the daughter of a respectable tradesman in the Poultry, and being an expeditious and a fine writer, was recommended by his intended father-in-law to a Mr. Paterson, solicitor, to copy writings. He met there with good employment, and was permitted to take the drafts home with him to copy. Amongst other things, Mr. Paterson gave him the drafts of two leaves to engross, at the same time giving him the money to pay for the skins, telling him that he himself would get them stamped. He then went away, and some time after he brought the eugrossments home with the stamps af fixed, and for which he was paid Si. 7s. On bringing them home, he told Mr. Paterson that be had borrowed the money from a friend, thereby saving him the trouble. A clerk in the house of Mr. Montgomery stated, that on the 16th instant the prisoner came to him with a draft lease, bearing the name of Patersom'and requested to have two parts of it en grossed on stamps by the afternoon. He said he was Mr. Pater son's clerk, and that he (Mr. P.) had been recommended by Mr. Duncombe, with whom Mr. Montgomery had served his time, and that he had no doubt Mr. Paterson would be a good customer. Upon this statement the leases were engrossed on stam p e d parchments, and in the afternoon the pri soner called for them. They were delivered, t o him with a bill made out in the name of Paterson. Some enquiry was sub sequently made of Mr. Paterson, who disclaimed ever au thorizing the prisoner to obtain the leases, anti consequently means were taken for his app rehension. Yesterda y afternoon he came a ga i n t o Mr. Montgomery's shop, and requested another staniped parchment iu the name of Mr. Paterson, when he was detained, and Turnpenny, the officer, having been sent for, he was given into custody. Mr. Paten= was present, and swore that he never authorised the prisoner to procure the stamps from Mr. Mont g omer y . The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, merely re quested that he might be remanded till Monday next, which was secednl to. DOG} ST t#, LIN G . J o h n Ki ny h a m arid Win. brought tip on a charge of dog-stealing. stated, that as Robert Collini, of Charles-street, Covent-garden, Sharp were last night, prisoners Were passing by. K . he was putting B O W -STREET — his Cr sh n o l p s W D i A ntl Y % ) s up both the hie Kin it. Witness which was • very small, in his arms, and ran off with _ , ata immediately pursued, crying "thief, thief '---whereupon Kininow. was gapped, and taken into custody ; in conducting him to 13 . street, Sharp endetwoured to rescue him, by tripping wane" wv ghani took up . dog, ral times ; and . Kingliant himself struck witness with a stick ill attempting to make his escape. One of the Bow-str eet patrol stated, that on hearing the n oise he came to the assistorice of Colli ns , and in tak i ng Kingliant into custody, Sharp, who appeared tub e in liquor, attempted to rescue him; whereupon he secured Sharp, and, having searched him , he found in his pocket-book several letters from the country, re lating to negotiations of about thirty dogs, Kiughtin, in his 'defence, stated, that its he was passint that way last night, along with Sharp, he saw a row at the end of the street, and on running towards it, he met the dog, which he took up in his arms, lest it might be run over. The Magistrates, Mr. Halls and Mr. Minshull, not being satis fied with this defence, convicted kingham in the penalty of 20/. being the lowest for the first offence. The prisoner not finding it convenient to advance that sum, was committed to the House of Correction for six months. Mr. Minshull at the same time informed him that he might ap peal from the conviction to the Quarter Sessions. Sharp was ordered to find bail for an attempt at rescue. Several housekeepers who reside in tht Haymarket came up to complain of the annoyance whi c h t h e y experienced from job coaches obstructing the passage bef ore th e i r d oo rs on Opera nights. The driver of No. 147 was summ one d by one 6fthetn, and convicted in the mitigated penalty of 20 1 ., i t b e i ng his first conviction. On it, he was stating his inability to pay comm itted to the House of Correction for one month. Th e com pbtinants expressed their de. termination to summon every coachman that should stop there for the future longer than they were warranted QUEEN-SQL/ARR.-(hM DAY). DISTURBANCE AT ASTLEY'S TREATRE.--Mr. Richard Hood, a respectable young VMS charged with creating a disturbanc e last night during the performance i n A a t ley's Theatre. of William Carr, Lambeth, said that last night about ten o'clock, the defendant with several more were in the pit, hissing and hooting at something they did not like in the performane. He went to the defendant, and said, •, Young man, this disturbance will not do here," and on his taking him by the collar he knocked him down; assistance, however, being obtained he (defendant) was forced out. Several other persons also struck him before lie could procure assistance, and while taking him out, a watchman's rattle fell from under his coat. The defendant was making a great noise with others, so that the performance could not be heard. Monroe, a constable, attending the Theatre, said that what seemed to give dissatisfaction, was the character of " Shock Jem," as performed in the piece, which was the nick name of a person then in the house. Mr. Andrew Ducrow, one of the proprietors, said he was brought down stairs in consequence of the disturbance; it was the first time the audience had met with any interruption. The piece had been performed since Monday last, and received with universal eclat. He, however, was gmwilling to carry on a prosecution against the defendant, who, he believed, - had been led into the error by others. The defendant was ordered to find sureties to keep the peace for three months—himself in 40/., and two other persons 20/. each. The required bail was instantly put in, and the defendant retired with his friends. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—(Tuts DAY.) John Parkes, a wild-looking Irish tailor, with a shock head of coarse carrotty hair, was charged by a watchman with obstructing the passage of his Majesty's liege subjects, by taking up a crow position on the pavement, after taking down a sufficient quantity of diluents, so as to render the said John Parkes " speechless drunk"---such was the unsophisticated charge of the nightly guardian. The red Em s eraider was fined 55., but not paying it," was consigned to "durance vile." A FORRIGN BIRD . MANUFACTURIR.-John Wright, a kna vish-looking bird-fancier, was charged by Mr. Cook, of Museum street, with fraud. He stated that on Tuesday last the prisoner introduced himself to Mr. C. and his spouse, saying that he had some beautiful foreign birds of " unrivalled" plumage, which, being distressed, he would sell cheap. He produced several live birds, of very handsome appearance, in paper bags. Mrs., COok was enchanted with their beauty, and observed she had seen everal such in the Museum. The prisoner said they were valuable foreign birds, called earpoons, anti finally, Mrs. C. prevailed on her spouse to purchase one of the handsomest for the very reduced charge of ls. 6d. The little foreigner was con signed to a handsome cage. It was variegated with beautiful colours, and Mr. C., after some consideration, began to suspect his new domestic of being like some other dickey birds, decorated in " borrowed plumes," he accordingly washed it, anti to his no small astonishment, discovered the valuable bird to be neither mere or less than a harmless cock-sparrow, who appeared as much de lighted with the restitution of his natural appearance, as his owner was with the artificial one. The prisoner "dropped in" again last night, at the shop of Mr. Cook, and at his request, was trans ferred to the watch-house. Mr. ROE wished him to show the birds which he now bad in his pocket. He did so, and produced some linnets, which had also been " tipped," and he declared to the Magistrate, that unless they were so ornamented people would not buy birds in these degraded times. He said that be did not know it was any crime, and, if forgiven, he would abstain in future. The Officers said that he had been following this profession for years. - - - Mr. Ito): committed him for the *And. One of his linnet. made its escape out of the Office, on being shown to 'the Ma.. Ftistrate. MARYLEBONE.--('tins DAY. ) Thomas Morgan was brought forward on a charge 'of theft. Edward Hawkins stated, that he went to his master's stable this morning; the door was shut; when he reached it, he observed through an opening a person peep at him from the hay-loft ;he then opened the door, and found at the back of it a pair of shoes belonging to his master, and an umbrella, which he left last night in the coach-house. He then went to the ladder leading to the hay-loft, and, as he was ascending, he heard some one jump out of the stable ; he immediately came down, and saw the back of the person, who disappeared. He returned again, and went up to the hay-loft, where he found three planes, but he did not know to whom they belonged. He then went to• wards two trusses of bay lying in the hay loft, and turned aside the largest, under which he found the prisoner concealed. He asked the prisoner what was his business there ; prisoner answer ed that he was going to sleep. Witness then asked him who it was that jumped out ; he said he did not know. A carpenter came forward and claimed the planes. Matthew Tierney, an Irishman, was charged with beating a woman, who stated, that she came to complain of her husband, but, indeed, she was not sure whether she could call him so, as he had another wife ; however, he struck her twice last night with a chair, and threatened to kill her daughter. A neighbour stated, that he saw the prisoner strike the com plainant with only one fist, and no more. Pat denied the whole charge, and addressed the Magistrate in a long speech, delivered with such rapidity,:in the tone peculiar to his countrymen, that we could only gather, from a few words which we understood, that he had complaints in his turn against his wife. • Mr. Gaterern, in consequence of the contradiction in the evidence, discharged the prisoner, to the no small disappointment of his wife. Elijah Barrow, a bold-looking athletic young fellow, was accused by John Young of theft. The complainant stated that the prisoner, without any provocation, struck him a violent blow on the back of the ear last night; the complainant, determined not to brook the injury, invited the prisoner to a field, where they might have a regular tarn out ; they accordingly went, and after the battle was over, the prisoner laid hold of the complainant's breast pin and silk handkerchief, and made off with them. HATTON-GARDEN.-7(T . nris DAT.) A well-known fortune-teller, named Ann Nelson, was placed with stealing two silk-handkerchiefs. Ann at A th n e n b ita ar t carged tye h , a decent-looking young woman, stated; that she was talking to a female acquaintance yesterday morning, when the prisoner addressed them, announcing herself as a person who ruled the destiny of all the young lasses at the west end, but that from a sudden prepossession in favour of witness, she would open the book of fate to her for a piece of silver. Witness, however, de clined the kind offer, and to avoid her importunities, walked on with her friend, and supposed they had got rid of the prisoner. They went into a house in Fleet Market, and had a pint of porter, but had scarcely been there a minute, when the prisoner again entered and renewed her solicitations, which were still denied. In order to pay for the porter, witness put her hand into her pocket, first taking out a couple of silk handker chiefs, which were laid on the counter ; and having tendered a shilling and received the change, the handkerchiefs and prisoner were both missing ; witness however, met her this morning, in Hatton-garden, and gave her into custody. Mr. Hoozas said, that he had no doubt how the case stood, but as it happened in the city, he should tranfer the charge to Guildhall, and ordered her to be taken there forthwith. Robe r t Whit e was b r ought up before the Sitting Magistrate, on a charge of being concerned in a burglary in the house of Mr. Parkinson, watchmaker, Goswell-road. A week since he had been brought up on a charge of robbery in Ratclifit-terrac e , having been stopped by a watchman, with a Ibitlynyien underdle ldsi 001, a constable, very suspicious circumstances. On b e i ng searched a quantity of watchmaker's tools Were found in his possession, which were ultimately traced t o be the property of Mr. Parkinson, who leas been robbed at different times of property to a considerable amount, of which at pr esen t no traces have been found. . The prisoner being fully 'committed on the first charge, Mr. Parkinson was told that he might prefer a bill against him at the sesaionai on Friday next. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, another Cabi net Council was held at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs, which was attended by the same Cabinet Ministers as on Tuesday. The Ministers continued in deliberation till balf-past four o'clock. The health of the Duke of York has greatly im proved of late. The account yesterday was very fa voprable. His Royal Highness has passed an excel lent night, and is better to-day. His R oral High ness, after transacting military business, in the •morn ing, with different Official Gentlemen, and being visited by his usual Medical Attendants, left the Duke of Rutland's residence, in Arlington-street, in an open barouche and pair, an took an airing through Pim lico, &c. for upwards of two hours. BRIGHTON, AUG. 28.—Mr. Secretary Canning, about ten o'clock this morning, left us for London. The Mirquis of Clanricarde is expected to return to his residence (Marlborough-place) to-morrow. It is said that Mrs. Canning purposes crossing the Chan nel from this place, and visiting Dieppe, where the Duchess of Berri is occasioning a scene of active hila rity to appear around her., In the event, it is also said, of Mrs. Canning's indulging in such a pleasurable ex cursion, her son-in-law, the Marquis of Clanricarde, will accompany her. This amiable Lady paid her usual visit to the German Spa this Morning. It is feared, from the sudden departure of the Duke of York, that his Royal Highness has not experienced that benefit from his residence here, which it was ge nerally supposed he had. It is certainly true, that on his first arrival his Royal Highness was often seen abroad, but latterly his excursions were much less fre quent ; and his Royal Highness, besides being much wrapped up, took his airings in a partially covered carriage, instead of the open vehicle which lie before used. It is quite uncertain when his Royal Highness will return. . The Lord Chancellor's interview with the Duke of York, on Tuesday, related to the subject of his Royal Highness's debts, for the arrangement of which, we un derstand a plan has, at length, been suggested. Mini sters are said to have consented to take upon them selves the payment of the expellee of the completion of York House. Owing to the fall in the price of timber, Mr. Hughes Ball has derived considerable advantage from the legal subtleties by which the consummation of the purchase of the Oatlands Estates has been delayed. The long-disputed title to the Oatlands Property is at length confirmed, and the purchase-money, which had from the first been invested in Exchequer Bills by Mr. Hughes Ball, will be paid forthwith to the various mortgagees, who had, in fact, advanced to a Royal Personage more than the value of this splendid estate. The delay which has taken place in consequence of the doubts entertained by certain legal gentlemen, as to the validity of the title, has occasioned considerable pain and anxiety to an exalted individual.—Morning Chronicle.

BURFORD, OXON, AVG. 30. There has been a most violent thunder storm here to-day, so severe a one is not within the memory of the oldest inhabitant ; the streets were completely deluged, and the rain cane down the hill, on which the town is situated, knee deep across the road, tearing up the pavement and every thing in its way ; the lightning was very severe, and, I am sorry to say, that two ricks of corn, and a barn full of corn also, belonging to Mr. Lee, of Little Farrildon, about five miles from here, were burnt down ; it is expected that much more da mage has been done. Very little rain fell.at Witney, only seven miles from here. THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER. (From the Manchester Mercury.) The action's brought against the different hundreds of this county, to recover compensation for the damages sustained by breaking power-looms, during the dis turbances in the month of April last, were 28 in num ber, two of which—viz., one by Messrs. Walmsleys, of Oswaldtwistle, and one by Mr. David Ashworth, of Newchurch—were not commenced in time for these Assizes, and consequently stand over to the next. Of the remaining 24 actions, the great majority were un defended, and verdicts were taken by consent in the Sheriff's Court for sums fixed on by a comparison of the valuations made for the claimants, with those made under the directions of the magistrates. Thee or four actions were, however, defended ; but, in each, a verdict was obtained for the plaintiff's.
